After visiting the former president () on Monday (29), the governor (Republicans) stated that he should be a candidate for reelection in 2026. The senator (PL-RJ), who also participated in the meeting, said that any definition of the presidential candidate depends on the.
The senator insisted that, but stated that Tarcisio is a great asset of the center-right and stressed that everyone in this field, including the governor ,.
“The message I want to give no doubt is that, regardless of how things will go from now on, I, Tarcisio, us, the center right parties, we will be together anyway in 2026,” said Flávio.
“I’m a candidate for reelection. This is already clear. I came to pay a courtesy visit, visit a friend,” said the governor, adding that he has only gratitude and no interests in Bolsonaro.
Flávio stated that “he will battle to the end” and that there is no way to make a decision about the presidential race before “because the scenario can change at any time.”
“There will be no decision while we do not know clearly what will happen to this amnesty project. […] Only after this legislative process and even its final unfolding. “
“No one will be able to hear from the only person who can make this decision, which is Jair Bolsonaro, he puts himself out of a dispute that he clearly, unfairly, has been withdrawn,” he added. The former president was declared and in the coup plot.
Tarcisio and Flavio added that what is being processed under the rapporteur of (Solidarity-SP) does not serve their pockets and again asked for amnesty, that is, forgiveness to the former president and the January 8 prisoners. According to them, however, this theme was not addressed at this meeting.
“I believe the path to pacification is amnesty,” said Tarcisio.
“Let’s go to the vote, to the plenary. Most of the plenary decides. This cannot be up to a mayor or, whether or not to be guided, and still suffering some kind of influence by authorities of other powers,” said the senator.
According to allies, the conversation also dealt with the Senate dispute in Sao Paulo, which should have as candidates Guilherme Derrite (PP) and Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP). Tarcisio indicated to Bolsonaro that if his son does not return from the US, the former president has the preference to appoint a new name.
The governor also stated that Bolsonaro is very sobly, a consequence of the surgeries resulting from the stab he took in 2018 during the election campaign. “It is very sad to see the [ex-]President in the situation he is, we talk and he sobbing all the time. “
Tarcisio arrived at the Bolsonaro condominium in the Botanical Garden, around 1:30 pm and left around 4:30 pm. The visit on the 15th, but authorized by the minister of the (Supreme Federal Court), for this second-the former president had visits in the previous days.
Tarcisio published on his official agenda the trip to Brasilia, but did not mention the meeting with Bolsonaro.
The governor’s passage through the federal capital coincided with the minister’s inauguration, but the governor did not attend the event. Flávio, in turn, criticized what he called Moraes’s excess and activism and said “asking God to really give much wisdom and strength to Minister Fachin that he.”
According to the governor’s allies, his absence was due to the extension of the visit to Bolsonaro and not to a possible bad climate with Moraes ,.
Shortly before Tarcisio’s arrival, a group of five protesters displayed a track at the entrance of the condominium, with the phrase: “So Tarcisio, have you given up on the presidency?” They also shouted “without amnesty”.
If a month ago Tarcísio’s eventual presidential candidacy was on the rise, leveraged by Centrão leaders, now in the state.
On Monday, deputies combined with the governor again said that Tarcisio does not want to dispute the Planalto Palace, but admit that there is room for changes until March, when he would have to leave office to run for presidency.
Regarding the amnesty project, the evaluation of Bolsonaro’s allies is that the former president for the Feather Reduction Project, as long as there is a guarantee of maintenance of his house arrest. For now, the guidance of the PL is to seek a broad amnesty, but the summit of Congress sees no room for this proposal to move forward.
Bolsonaro’s political godson, Tarcisio is the pre -presidential presidential of the center and sectors of the economy, but the one who accompanies him since he competed for the Bandeirantes Palace is now also a barrier for the 2026 race.
Tarcisio braked the presidential offensive. His exhibition as presidential in recent weeks has earned him attacks by Lula and Eduardo.
In early September, Bolsonaro’s trial at the Supreme Court and Tarcisio’s articulation by Amnesty, which made the agenda win fans in Congress, to him in the race. The commitment to forgiveness is considered an important gesture to win the most radical wing of pockets.
Now the scenario is different. Amnesty is considered unfeasible in the House and lost space for penalties reduction, Bolsonaro insists on being a candidate, (PL-SP) states that (PT) recovered popularity and had positive signaling from Donald Trump, there were demonstrations from the left against amnesty and A, and Tarcisio’s radical speech against the STF on September 7 was seen as an error by the sectors that support him.
Prior to the September 7 speech, Tarcisio had the goodwill of Moraes to visit Bolsonaro and authorize a meeting in early August.
The governor tried the same strategy on September 15 as he asked the Supreme to visit Bolsonaro the next day. , on the grounds that Bolsonaro’s schedule was already filled until that moment.
Not even the attempted Bolsonaro defense of rearrangement in visits to prioritize Tarcisio was taken into consideration by Moraes, which made the governor cancel his trip to Brasilia at the time.
